Saints' Demario Davis hosts forum calling for raise in Orleans Public Defenders' budget

“New Orleans Saints player Demario Davis was back in the news Tuesday afternoon, this time not for a successful defensive series or a game-day attire fine-turned-charitable opportunity, but for a cause he hopes gets the attention of city leaders.  Using his athlete status, the linebacker brought defense attorneys, advocacy groups and even exonerated citizens together for a Players Coalition forum at Corpus Christi Church to discuss the funding, or lack thereof, for public defenders in Orleans Parish.“
